Family Bonding

We rented the house to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. It was perfect. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms - so everyone was comfortable. We put my mom in the main bedroom, with the ensuite. She loved the walk in shower - with the bench! From the giant window, she was able to watch the kids take out the kayaks, playing with the dog and enjoy the beautiful property. The rest of the family was able to spread out over the remaining five bedrooms. Each bedroom was furnished with a queen bed and a dresser - making them easy to move into for the week we were there. We enjoyed cooking and eating together as a family. We spent a few evenings playing cards and watching movies on the HUGE TV. Kitchen was stocked so well - we loved having access to the shared spices. We forgot to bring oil to make popcorn on the stove - was nice not to have to run out, just grabbed it out of the pantry. There were lots of those types of "little things" that made the trip enjoyable. The house was equipped with everything you could need or want. Most importantly, the hosts were amazing and responsive. The issues we ran into were dealt with quickly. They're wonderful people. We had such a good time - hope to return again soon.

River house

The house was very clean, and had everything we needed including towels, bedding, and kitchen supplies. Our grandkids and dogs had a great time playing in the river and kayaking. The house is very roomy and we were all able to spread out and had plenty of room for sleeping. We loved the fire pit area, and playing pool and darts in the basement. The owners are very accommodating and even came to the house to fix the internet when it wasn’t working. We would definitely stay there again.

Dont judge a drive by

Inside house really nice, modern new appliances and plenty of areas for people to have personal space. They are working on outdoor areas and landscaping but was still beautiful remote riverfront with abundant wildlife. Location close to local stores, restaurants wilderness, lakefronts, and great fishing only minutes away We would definitely rent this property again

What makes this property unique

This is our family home growing up. Just renovated inside and with the view of the river cleared our home is ready for others to enjoy. My family uses it as a quiet get away and for large family gatherings. With a fully finished basement complete with kitchen, two bedrooms a TV room and pool table with another TV there is plenty of space for family members to spread out. Outside there a a spacious yard with adjoining trails for hikes in the woods. Backyard has a fenced in area to keep children and dogs away from the river. The Thunderbay River is not particularly deep along our property line and has a sand and gravel bottom. It's very refreshing in the summer but if you prefer a beach then Lake Huron is a short 15 minute drive away in Alpena, MI. Alpena has much to offer with shops and restaurants, a large grocery store, golf, a marina, diving and sunken boat expeditions and museum.
